Coach Off Season changes 2024/25

[freoextra]

I love him on radio.

I rate Marto and Hase just below Duffield in must listen Dockers radio. Probably the only two to listen to apart from Mundy on occasion.

 

[Jezzitizle]

A bit left field, don’t know much about him but came across really well in the interview the club posted.

Good to see us look outside the box.

 

[Perfect Purple]

Damo is really such a top notch guy. Should be a really good appointment

He knows how to motivate sports people
He knows the benefits of empowerment
He’s an outstanding communicator
He knows what it takes to be winners
He knows the qualities required to be a successful leader


Very pleased with this appointment. We can’t lose with this guy on board.

 

[fnerd]

Awesome appointment.

Knows what it takes.

To win the ultimate prize!…… in basket ball :/

Is Martin replacing/replicating the role Murphy had? Anyway, a lot of the lads like basketball and have those intraclub basketball games, so I guess there's an easy in to relate the bigger picture leadership values with the players.

Bob definitely had the head of leadership role, at least when he first came in.

Will be replacing it in part, from the leadership perspective.

Bell did indicate on trade radio earlier today that it may be split between a few people - whether that's splitting the leadership aspects (split between Men and Women perhaps - his position was stated as 'AFL Leadership Advisor, not sure if that's to indicate their will be an AFLW equivalent or just that it's not for the exec team etc.) or just splitting the leadership and skills specialist part.

Marto is going to be very busy. He is currently on the radio in the afternoon, Basketball TV work , Real estate agent, does some Player manager work, marriage celebrant & emcee work.

Is it a part time adhoc role? Because he'll need to drop some other duties.

I tuned in at 3pm on Martin's co-host show on SEN but he didn't really go into much detail other than give a positive impression about Alex Pearce's role as captain.

Thrilled with Damien Martin in a leadership role. Successful career, comfortable in WA, great outside-the-box appointment.

Kinda hoping we've got someone else in-store other than Curley, we don't often have news leak and the fact that our interest in him did has me a little worried.

Damien Martin v brown nosed gnome

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Is this the year Dyson Heppell joins ... as an assistant coach?

 

[Vintage]

He knows how to motivate sports people
He knows the benefits of empowerment
He’s an outstanding communicator
He knows what it takes to be winners
He knows the qualities required to be a successful leader

This, so much this. Really love this appointment.

 

[A New Hope]

Any word on who is being interviewed for the assistant coaching role?

Todd Curley has been mentioned. You may have already heard that one.

 

[FreoBraddles]

There will be a current SANFL coach announced as a Freo Assistant Coach today.

 

[bruzaar62]

I’m hearing Rawlings from Norwood

 

[Outshined]

Norwood coughed up a lead at 3 quarter time in the SANFL GF

He's perfect for Freo

They topped the table this year though. Also, he coached them to a flag in 2022

Yeah I'm just taking the piss. Big fan of this appointment if it eventuates.

Martin Mattner or Rawlings make sense.

I don't mind the idea of interviewing them.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Rawlings is an interesting choice for mine given that he was apparently the runner up to JL in the recruitment process in 2019

 

[Firesharter]

Yeah I'm just taking the piss. Big fan of this appointment if it eventuates.

Yeah he’d be quality by the looks of things

 

[Docker82]

I’m hearing Rawlings from Norwood

Wasn't he an interim coach somewhere like ages ago?

09 Richmond I reckon
